Is that just to log into Battlenet?
Yea, you can't even play your offline games when that happens

Its at 8 minutes now for some reason.

Why everything that is not Steam sucks so fucking much?!
Because Blizzard doesn't care about anything, not about their games, or their customers, just to please the Chinese communist party.

So perhaps SE will indeed continue selling the original release of DQXI since it does have things over the S version. Crazy world.

At first I was excited about the announcement of the S version, but after reading that there is no upgrade possibility I was a bit disappointed. Would probably buy it anyway, (when it's on sale). But now reading that it's a straight port from the Switch version I am more disappointed and will not buy it anymore.... unless it gets price glitched for dirt cheap....

Here’s the full list below of the games that will definitely catch your eye!
12 Minutes (Luis Antonio / Annapurna, 2020): A romantic evening with your wife turns into a violent invasion, as a man breaks into your home, accuses your wife of murder and beats you to death. Only for you to wake up and find yourself stuck in a twelve-minute time loop, doomed to relive the same terror again and again.

Dead Static Drive (Team Fanclub, 2021): Dead Static Drive is about a nightmare roadtrip but it’s also about the extremes of personal circumstance the characters are put in and their emotional reaction to that circumstance. You have to choose who you can trust as you fight the horrors barely concealed underneath everyday domestic life.

Exo One (Future Friends Games, 2020): A strange signal… an alien craft… Exo One is a gravity-defying, interplanetary journey through space and time. Master a truly alien traversal system and move through enigmatic and desolate alien landscapes in ways you’ve never experienced. Use gravity and momentum to reach colossal speeds and exhilarating heights.

Lake (Whitethorn, 2021): It’s 1986 – Meredith Weiss takes a break from her career in the big city to deliver mail in her hometown. How will she experience two weeks in beautiful Providence Oaks, with its iconic lake and quirky community? And what will she do next? It’s up to you.

Last Stop (Annapurna, 2021): A game about secret lives, the ties that bind and how magic can be found in the mundane, Last Stop is a third-person adventure set in present day London, where you play as three separate characters whose worlds collide in the midst of a supernatural crisis.

Mad Streets (Craftshop Arts, 2020): Mad Streets is a quirky, physics based, multiplayer game which focuses on brutal hand to hand combat mixed with comedy and a vibrant art style but more importantly brings something satisfying and brand new to the table, in terms of how character’s physically interact with each other, in ways players haven’t felt before.

Sable (Shedwords / Raw Fury): Join Sable on her gliding, a rite of passage that will take her across vast deserts, through landscapes littered with fallen spaceships. Explore the desert at your own pace on your hoverbike, scale monumental ruins and encounter other nomads in the wilds whilst unearthing mysteries long forgotten.

Shredders (FoamPunch BV / I-Illusions, 2021): Shredders puts you on top of the coolest slopes, freeride spots and snowparks. It aims to recreate the sheer joy of riding down a mountain. Shredders will bring you high-end graphics, next-gen physics and a perfect blend between fun and realism, all in a social context. See you on the slopes in 2021!

Song of Iron (Escape, 2021): Song of Iron is a moody and provoking action adventure. A dive into a dark Nordic world full of mystery and danger. Your journey will take you far across the land of myths toward the home of the gods. Fight your way through man, monster and nature itself to reach the end.

The Artful Escape (Beethoven and Dinosaur / Annapurna, 2020): On the eve of his first performance, Francis Vendetti battles with the legacy of a dead folk legend and the cosmic wanderings of his own imagination. Francis, a teenage guitar prodigy, sets out on a psychedelic, multidimensional journey to inspire his stage persona.

The Ascent (Curve Digital/Neon Giant, 2021): The Ascent is a solo and co-op action RPG set in a cyberpunk world. The mega corporation that owns you and everyone, The Ascent Group, has just collapsed. Can you survive without it? Stop gangs and hostile corporations from taking over and discover what really happened.

The Big Con (Mighty Yell Studios, 2021): Flex your inner teenager in The Big Con, an adventure game where you hustle across the country as a teen trying to save your family video store. In classic 90s con movie style, you’ll get to persuade and pilfer your way to greatness using a whack of potential grifts.

The Falconeer (Wired Productions/Tomas Sala, 2020): The Falconeer is an open-world air combat game, featuring frenetic aerial dogfights and deep exploration of the mysterious open-world of The Great Ursee. Generations of poisonous decisions and treason swirl in the deep, as factions clash in a fight to preserve the past or flee its terrible consequences.

Tunic (Finji/Andrew Shouldice): Tunic is an action adventure game about a small fox in a big world, who must explore the countryside, fight monsters, and discover secrets. Crafted to evoke feelings of classic action adventure games, Tunic will challenge the player with unique items, skillful combat techniques, and arcane mysteries as our hero forges their way through an intriguing new world.

🥚 Unexplored 2: The Wayfarer’s Legacy (Big Sugar, 2021): Unexplored 2 is an action-RPG that aims to capture the same sense of adventure and wonder as a tabletop RPG. Full of beautiful landscapes and hidden marvels, magical creatures and dangerous foes, mythical weapons, and historic items, Unexplored 2 uses advanced content generation to give every player their own world, story, and challenges to discover.

I always found the indie sizzle reels in Nintendo/MS/Sony showcased to be the most interesting. Sure I like to play some AAA blockbusters here and there, but indie devs always makes the most interesting games.

So I guess next gen starts soon for me:

4 random BSODs in the span of a month. Either some part of my hardware is dying, Windows 10 2004 doesn't like something about my rig, or 'why don't we have both?'
:negative-blob:
(Of course, I have no money for a computer upgrade. Fuck being a responsible parent)

I still can't get over the Dragon Quest thing. I mean, it's not like we're talking about a 3DS remake or something here. The game should be able to scale just fine across these platforms. Just when you think you've reached peak Square-Enix, they go ahead and pull something like this. That company's ineptitude truly knows no bounds...

On the bright side, that means I no longer give a shit about not getting a free/discounted upgrade. I'll get the new version when it's cheap as fuck, and even then maybe not lol.

So Square leaves it up to fans to reverse engineer their game, and mod the higher resolution graphics and effects from the original PC version to the S version.

God this is so stupid. Like why would you ever greenlight a product that's gimped like this? This company is so fucking insane.

Even worse off are the PS4 peeps.
They can't even mod the good OST to the original version, and the S release has gimped graphics for them too with no way to mod them out.
Square Enix is truly a galaxy brain company.

PC was the big winner from that conference. Seems like there's a bit of uncertainty about performance, visuals or what is crossgen, etc. But if you are on PC, everything is on gamepass and will run as well as your PC can handle. If they stop holding back stuff from Steam, then everything will be swell, but I imagine it's still on a game by game basis.
